Blackberry should advertise more!

I don't even remember the last time I've seen a Blackberry commercial. They make great products in my opinion and a good commercial would at least get people to talk or have in mind. Anyone else see any or am I just watching the wrong channels? Just my random whining lol

They are advertising and marketing a lot to their target market. You don't see it because you and I are not their target market. They are not competing with iOS and Android in the consumer space, they are focusing on business and enterprise customers. That's where their marketing efforts are right now.

In all seriousness BlackBerry has many faults and reasons as to why they are in this position. Advertising is one of them.
Doubt you'll see anything more from BlackBerry aside from YouTube or Donnie...oh gosh I can't stand those videos.

Youtube won't do anything for your bottom line and who ever is responsible for their marketing needs to intern at Samsung and Apple's marketing teams for a summer.

They laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at them because they're all the same. 

They need to step up their game. The company I work for, and most of the companies I have friends working for, have all phased out, or started to phase out, BlackBerry phones. I'm talking Fortune 10 companies and the four major banks where I live. I mentioned in another thread BlackBerry is still an option where I work but company apps being built in house are all for iOS or Android. So in order for your phone to work with company specific apps you need an iPhone or Android device. That tells me were getting rid of BlackBerry as an option soon enough. With what I've been reading about ios 9 and possibilities in place for iOS 10 me thinks this forum is going to get quieter.
If Chen's solution to the app gap doesn't work, and the slider isn't a hit, I'm going to eat crow and get another phone. Not looking forward to that day because I've dissed Apple and Google for years to my friends. Karma

When those Fortune 10 companies get burned by security breaches, they'll come running back to BlackBerry. Remember the massive Sony hack? They had to dust off their still-functioning BES and hand out BlackBerry devices just to be able to communicate during the aftermath.

I think BlackBerry's current strategy is a sound one and we will soon see the pendulum start swinging back the other way.

While I'd love to see BlackBerry make a come back I certainly hope it's not by fortune 10 companies getting burned.
I'll use your example of Sony as an example. Sony got burned, ran back to BlackBerry 5-7 phones, not 10, and didn't ask BlackBerry for a large order of phones or BES servers. I believe they are still using their current provider.
